a tribute

To a man. A Navy veteran. A son. A brother.

My uncle.

He was someone I didn't get to see very often. Living in Washington D.C. Working. Living. Keeping to himself. Nonetheless, I held him close in my heart. The brother of my mama. A man that was deeply loved by the family. Treasured. Never forgotten just because he lived across the country.

Suddenly gone.

I pray for peace that passes all understanding. A peace that only comes from the Lord. Comfort for broken hearts. Strength for remaining faithful to trust. Trust to find that peace.

My tears that I shed are for this man. My uncle. A piece of my family.

Never forgotten.
